UNITED STATES PATENT UFFICEQ CHARLES O. GREGORY, OF OENTREVILLE, MICHIGAN.

GIG-TREE AND A-TTACHMENTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 369,707, dated September 13:, 1887.

Application filed July 5,1887. Serial No. 243.421.

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, QHARLEs O. GREGORY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gentreville, county of St. Joseph, State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Gig-Tree, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object certain features of construction and association of parts for detachably coupling the rein-hook with the gig-tree of a harness.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective View; Fig. 2, an under plan view, and Fig. 3 a section on linel 1 in Fig. 2.

Referring to theletters of reference marked on the drawings, Bis an ordinary gig-tree. In the under side is a dovetail mortise, into which is dctachably inserted the dovetail end a of the rein-hook D. To effect this insertion of the hook a mortise is formed just back of the dovetail mortise, at right angles thereto, and communicates with it. A block of leather or other material, 0, of a size to fill the latter-described mortise is detachably inserted therein, and this prevents the hook D from working back and becoming loose and accidentally fall ing out. The mortise in which the block 0 is inserted is between the crapper-loop u and the end of the rein-hook D, and is of course on a curve with the curve of the gig-tree.

(N0 model.)

Having thus described my invention, what I claimis In combination, a gig-tree having the dovetail mortise, a communicating recess at the end of said mortise, a rein-hook shaped to detachably fit the dovetail mortise, and a block fitting into the recess at the end of the hook to retain the latter in place, substantially as set forth.

In testimony of the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES C). GREGORY.
